Pokémon GO at Changi Airport 2026: stamp rallies and blue Pikachu

Pokémon GO's PokéXciting! event is on at Changi Airport and Jewel on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November 2026, 10am to 10pm. Spin special PokéStops to fill two stamp rallies, and each one ends with an encounter with Singapore's blue PokéXciting! Pikachu with a local Location Background.

It is free: you only need the Pokémon GO app and a phone with data. The event bonuses work anywhere in Singapore during event hours, but the stamps are only at Changi and Jewel.

The two stamp rallies, side by side

How to collect the five Changi and Jewel stamps

1. Update Pokémon GO before you set off. Changi suggests downloading the app in advance.
2. Walk around Changi Airport and Jewel with the map open. Stamp rally PokéStops have an event look.
3. Spin each one. The stamp goes into the Scrapbook page of the app.
4. After the fifth stamp you get the blue PokéXciting! Pikachu encounter.

Neither Niantic, Scopely nor Changi has published the exact five PokéStops. The Pokémon Company's event map shows Pokémon GO zones at Jewel, T1, T2 and T3, so expect to cover more than one building. All five are in the public area, and Jewel connects to T1 arrivals and, by link bridges from Departure Level 2, to T2 and T3. Changi Airport MRT station on the East West Line is under T2 and T3. See getting there.

The cross-region stamp at T3

This one is already live and stays for three years. Spin the PokéXciting! PokéStop in the T3 Departure Hall to collect a Pikachu stamp you can only get in Singapore, and an encounter with the blue PokéXciting! Pikachu.

It is one of five city stamps, each with a Pikachu in a different costume colour:

• Kuala Lumpur: KLCC Park, in front of the Esplanade.
• Taipei: Xiangti Boulevard.
• Singapore: Changi Airport T3 Departure Hall.
• Manila: SM Mall of Asia, MOA Sky.
• Bangkok: venue still to be announced in the game. The PokéXciting! event there is on 13 and 14 February 2027.

Because the T3 PokéStop is in the public departure hall, you can collect it on a normal trip to the airport, no flight needed.

How long the stamp rally lasts

Sources differ. Changi's weekend page says the Changi Airport stamp rally runs on 7 and 8 November. The media release says the five PokéStops are in place from 7 November to 8 December 2026. Pokémon GO's tour page says the rally stays in each city for one month after the local event begins, which fits the release. We follow the release, but go this weekend if you can, because the event bonuses and booth are only on these two days.

The blue PokéXciting! Pikachu also keeps appearing in the wild in Singapore for one month after the event ends, according to the tour page. One Malaysian news report suggested the local rally runs until 2029. That date only applies to the single cross-region stamp at T3.

Event bonuses on 7 and 8 November

These run from 10am to 10pm and work anywhere in Singapore, not just at the airport:

• Two free Timed Research tracks and event Field Research.
• Gigantamax Battles with Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise.
• Unown S and G from Incense, the two Singapore letters.
• 2x XP for spinning PokéStops.
• Half Stardust cost for trades and two extra Special Trades.
• 1-hour Lure Modules.
• 2x XP and extra Candy for Nice Throws or better.
• A special map effect.

The Pokémon GO booth at T3

Pokémon GO has a booth at Changi Airport Terminal 3 this weekend, where you can redeem a special PokéXciting! sticker and meet other players. The exact spot and booth hours aren't published; the event hours are 10am to 10pm.

Fitting it around the rest of the weekend

Jewel's Forest Valley is closed to visitors without a parade wristband from 1pm to 7pm on both days, so do the Jewel stamps in the morning or after 7pm. The T3 stage runs shows from 12pm to 10pm. For the full timetable see our 7 and 8 November guide and what to know about the Jewel parade. For a meal between stamps, try our Jewel food guide.

The rest of the Pokémon programme at Changi runs to 3 January 2027: see every event and when it ends or the stamp rally event page.
